– The year-to-date levels represent the average of all observable annualized periods. When annual gross value and changes are available, they are presented.
– Due to more frequent updating, the quarterly economic accounts data may differ from those published by Statistics Canada in the Provincial and Territorial Economic Accounts.
– Monthly and quarterly data on housing starts are seasonally adjusted independently; quarterly data do not correspond to the average of monthly data.
– In April 2020, the CMHC's monthly survey was carried out in all Canadian provinces except Québec. As a result, the April 2020 data for Québec is not available and the April 2020 data for Canada excludes Québec.
– Annual sales of manufactured goods are calculated from the monthly survey.
– Numbers in bold have been revised since last Friday.
